بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
لَفْظُ كَلِمَةِ التَّصَوُّفِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَحْرُفٍ:
فَالتَّاءُ: مِنَ التَّوْبَةِ
وَالصَّادُ: مِنَ الصَّفَاءِ
وَالْوَاوُ: مِنَ الْوَلَايَةِ
وَالْفَاءُ: مِنَ الْفَنَاءِ.
The very utterance of the word taṣawwuf (Sufism) is made up of four letters:
The tāʾ: from tawbah, repentance
The ṣād: from safa, purity of heart
The wāw: from wilayah, spiritual guardianship—nearness to God and His care. The sanctity of the lovers and friends of Allah
The fāʾ: from fana, self-effacement, the annihilation of ego into the nothingness.
from 'The Secret of Secrets' by Hadhrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (May Allah be pleased with him).
